A model specifying the psychological constructs determinant in perimenstrual symptom severity was developed. Specifically, higher negative affectivity, lower self-efficacy, more external locus of control, less active and more escape-avoidance coping behaviors were proposed to contribute to the experience of more severe symptoms. Eighty-seven community participants were selected to participate in the study. Half of the sample attended a two-hour cognitive behavioral intervention providing information about several health behavior changes found to reduce symptom severity, including diet changes, caffeine reduction, exercise, sleep and relaxation techniques, while the other half was assigned to a wait-list control group. Fifty-nine women completed baseline, post-intervention and one-month follow-up instruments. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that higher biology locus of control (a scale developed for this study), higher chance locus of control, and more active and escape coping were each found to directly contribute to more severe symptomatology. Overall, it seemed that the worse one's symptoms were the more coping of any type was employed. However, attending the intervention lead to an increase in active coping efforts, which in turn lead to increased feelings of perimenstrual well-being. Thus, although both active and avoidance coping were related to more severe symptomatology, only active coping could predict feelings of perimenstrual well-being.
